Give yourself some time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, recognise all the giving you do in work and life and make space for yourself. As well as gentle movement and grounding exercises, there will be tools for of embodied awareness, self massage , guided meditation and opportunities to share with others.

space & stuff
- a private, quiet space (sometimes privacy looks like headphones, that's fine)
- room to move - movements can be adapted to sitting or standing, depending on how you feel or the space available to you
- somewhere to relax - this could be seated or lying down. I suggest that you could feel supported wherever you decide to be - it's also ok to move to a different place for this bit of the session.
- if you have some massage oil / hand cream / body lotion that would be great. No worries if not.
Other things to consider... yoga mat, cushion, pillow, chair, blanket.aaand last, but not least - stay hydrated with whatever you choose to.Join Embodied Doula facebook group
